Curate, connect, and discover
HELLO! I’m making a massive list of EVERY single lgbtqia+ flag (and then posting them wherever I can put them)
This is mostly to spread more YO, THERE ARE SO MANY LABELS FOR YOU GUYS WHO WANNA USE THEM, and also cause I find it fun for character creation!
If you have a Flag I can add to my list that isn’t seen much anywhere then please do either:
Reblog or send it to my inbox, with the flag, name of the sexuality, romanticality, and identity and then it’s meaning!
Microlabels are VERY MUCH ACCEPTED
what I currently have:
(I understand that I can go hunting for more but I find it nice for people to get to express themselves by showing their labels to other people)
All different kinds of the pride flags
Trans flag (will add trans masc and trans femme)
Intersex
Asexual (will grab aromantic and aro/ace)
Bisexual
Pansexual
Lesbian
AND THATS ALL I CAN ADD FROM MOBILE
But do please send in your flags for me to add! :D
(Reblogs appreciated but not forced)
In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don't let them pretend we never existed.
P.S: Don't like! Reblog! <3
to me, gender is confusing. its a interesting, somewhat difficult yet somewhat fun preformance.
to me, gender is just terms im fine with being called. im fine with being called a girl or boy, or anything of the like. im fine with any terms or compliments being used on me. one day i might prefer some terms over the other, and another i might prefer the opposite.
to me, i just like the terms "boy" and "girl" but to me, they're just names. i might rock with girl more one day, and boy the next. usually im fine with both equally, and sometimes i dont prefer any of these.
i might want to wear more feminine clothes one day, and more masculine the next. usually i dont really see my clothes as gendered. (and everyone can wear what they want regardless of their gender (or lack of one) although my clothes usually dont affect my gender, sometimes it does. like something i wear traditionally seen as feminine might make me prefer traditionally feminine terms one day. or even something i listen to might make me prefer more traditionally masculine terms. (outside things affect my gender :p)
yeah that was just a little thing i wanted to share as an update to the last gender post i made! thanks for readin!
(Everyone has a different experience with gender - these are just mine :p)
hey i made a thing about my gender :D
update to my last post- i think im all 3- and maybe some others???? call me a boy, girl, both, an enby or somethin else, give me masculine or/and fem compliments, whatever
im always neutral/aporagender, but my boygirl energy fluctuates, so one side might overpower the other one day, or maybe the boygirl energy might feel low one day and i just (mostly) feel neutral/aporagender the next
tl;dr:
are you a boy or a girl?
im the whole package but bought from wish.com
people need to realize that dissolving the lines between gender also means dissolving the lines between sexuality. you cannot say gender is fake and then say sexuality is strict and rigid.
there are multigender/genderfluid people who are lesbians and gay men at the same time. there are mspec lesbians/gays/straights who have a complex relationship with gender and their sexuality. there are gay men who are women and lesbians who are men because male isn't the opposite of female.
"conflicting" labels are a part of many people's queer experience, because the human experience isnt simple enough to be put into neat perfect categories. if you truly support trans/genderqueer people, you need to accept the fact that gender and sexuality is complex and there will be people whose identities you don't understand
I am a multigender bisexual. Before I began to focus my efforts into transgender and multigender activism, I was BIG into bisexual activism. But, because of this, I’ve noticed something peculiar… Something that other multigenders have noticed too.
A lot of modern-day transmultiphobia (particularly those directed towards those who are both male and female) is, quite simply (and I mean this in a very literal way), repackaged biphobia from the peak of biphobic discourse.
This includes, but isn’t limited to:
The “fence-sitter” perspective. Multigenders and bisexuals are seen as sitting on the fence of the binary. We can belong in both communities (gay and straight, male and female). But because of this ability to be in both, we are not allowed into either.
This is because of us being seen as “tainted by the other gender,” or as an “invader”. Both the idea that bisexuals are less “purely” WLW or MLM than their gay counterparts, and the “men vs non-men” dichotomy that we’re seeing be put up, are evidence of this. When it comes to discussion gay and lesbian M/F multigenders, this comparison is very apt. I mean, “your association with men / women has made you unable to belong with us” is VERY on the nose.
The view that it’s “just a phase.” Both existence as a bisexual and as a multigender, from my experience, is seen as something you will go through before you “choose a side”, before you “settle down” with a real, PROPER choice. One of the two choices that you’re given, rather than both.
Making people angry because of how we make them insecure. “If this person attracted to men and women can belong in the queer community,” wonders the biphobe, “What does that mean for the state of my queerness?” And likewise, the transmultiphobe asks, “If this person is both a man and a woman, then what does that mean for my attraction?”
I believe that this is because bisexuality and multigenderism both have… “Both.” In a world, with a binary, that expects — DEMANDS — that you pick either/or, saying “both” (or, heaven forbid, “both, and…”) will always be met with extreme rejection and isolation.
Multigender and bisexual activists could learn a lot from each other. We are so often told to hide or cut off one part of ourselves in order to fit into some sort of (any sort of!) set of norms, and to conform to the male/female binary. We fuck with people’s views of sexuality and gender merely by existing, and we are nothing short of revolutionary for that reason.
